Reasonable Attribution

[Verse 1] I slide down the aisle Like I planned my escape Same row, opposite side Close enough to make a mistake You look up like a receipt Already folded in your hand I ask, "So this is deliberate?" You say, "It is efficient, understand" [Pre-Chorus] I lean back, make space One arm says I'm open You say proximity Like it came pre-loaded, spoken You curate your randomness Before you let it land I laugh under my breath 'Cause you meant it as a brand [Chorus] Reasonable attribution If this goes wrong, blame you Reasonable attribution I made the seating choice too I'm not a risk, I'm a route I'm not a storm, I'm through Reasonable attribution If this goes wrong, blame you [Verse 2] I tell you Potsdam Family duty in my coat Mildly annoyed, same ticket Trying to keep the costs afloat You say, "Travel, with stops" And stop there on purpose I say, "You compress too hard" You say, "I filter what is worth this" I talk like I owe the room Every thought I didn't trim You measure every word Like the gate might judge you if you spin [Pre-Chorus] I notice the pattern You notice my defiance Same exact habit Different style, same science Outside the hose unlatches The ground crew makes its final call And suddenly the whole plane Feels like it could go or fall [Chorus] Reasonable attribution If this goes wrong, blame you Reasonable attribution I made the seating choice too I'm not a risk, I'm a route I'm not a storm, I'm through Reasonable attribution If this goes wrong, blame you [Bridge] One more thing If this becomes a story I want the right headline Not some accidental glory You give that tiny nod The one that says you heard me And for one suspended second Your calm almost disarms me [Chorus] Reasonable attribution If this goes wrong, blame you Reasonable attribution I made the seating choice too I'm not a risk, I'm a route I'm not a storm, I'm through Reasonable attribution If this goes wrong, blame you [Outro] I settle into the geometry Of the row And let the final moment Go slow
